I'd almost bet the farm that you got water in one or more electrical conections involving the ignition circuits.Most likely though it is a bad (or loose)spark plug boot since it still starts.If it's bad or loose,then this sympton would occur when wet because the water would get at the spark plug shorting it out.G'luck Trommy

REST EASY, THIS IS A 5 MINUTE FIX

I came across this forum, looking for the same answer as you. I know this is too late to help you, but it may help someone else searching the same problem.

On the 'drivers side' (use a car as reference) on the engine, there is a cover with a large round plate. On the bottom of the cover, There is a 12mm bolt head sticking out. Remove the bolt head, water and grease should flow out. Make sure you put something down, as this will stain concrete, with the bolt head out, drive around a bit . Put the drain plug back in and go at it!

To help keep this from happening again, If you look on either end of that cover, you see plastic vent pipes that run under the front wheel. I cut a piece of rag, and stuck over the opening of the pipe and secured it with a hair band...

I Absolutely Love this Bike!

      I like to ride in wooded and grassy areas. It takes my mind off the everyday routines and helps me deal with my father's cancer. Also gives me a reason to get involved with forums like this one.

      Troubleshooting a no spark issue, was running OK, maybe a little rich, turned it off, now no spark. I've checked/ohmed out the main key switch, the start/stop switch, neutral switch, brake switch - all good. It will crank the starter, but no spark with the starter or when I try the pull start. I've checked all fuses and diodes. Swapped battery. New plug. New coil. Swapped in a used CDI - no help. Traced, removed, cleaned, reattached all grounds. Removed things like my winch from the circuits to be sure a bad relay or something was dragging it down. When testing voltages, the orange wire going from the CDI to the ignition coil shows no/very low voltage-shouldn't it have 12V on it? Sometimes I get a very weak, intermittent glow on my spark tester, but not enough to fire the plug. I've checked continuity on just about all wires in the harness. Checked/cleaned/lubed w dielectric grease- all connections, redid a few that looked old/dirty. I've checked the stator resistances, all good, but have a stator and rectifier ordered anyway, will arrive Sunday. I verified that the rectifier has a voltage output back to charge the battery while cranking - 10.5-11V, low, but expected while starter is engaged. What else can I check as part of troubleshooting? I have a Haines service manual, but the 1999 350 4x4 seems to be an odd model, there isn't an exact electrical diagram for it, but found one for another year that has all the same number of wires and same color wires, so I've referenced that. Any hints, tips or advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

      Hello all! I’m new to the 4 wheeler world, but not new to the mechanic world. I was a diesel mechanic for many years and last year got into jet skis. I just bought a 1987 Yamaha moto 4 350 and now learning the ins and outs of 2 stroke engines. Looking forward to learning all the things.
